Harrier: How To Be a Fighter Pilot

Summary

This is the story of what it takes to make it in fighter combat. In the cockpit or crew room, the pressure is relentless, the humour merciless.
It's no place for the faint-hearted.

Whether landing on a pitching aircraft carrier deck at midnight, or
saving heroes under fire in Afghanistan, there is no room for self-doubt; only confidence and do-or-die hard truth. In return, Paul Tremelling and his comrades enjoyed levels of exhilaration unimaginable anywhere else.

Combining visceral action with sharp intelligence, laced with acerbic humour,
Harrier brings to life the hi-octane, unforgiving world of the fighter pilot.
